Reading
Put together from what the tradition attributes to each body, sign and house — a portrait to enjoy, not a verdict. The positions beside it are the part that can be checked.
☉ Sun in Libra · house 8
Who you are being when you are most yourself.
The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
☽ Moon in Libra · house 8
What makes you feel safe.
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued diplomatically, and rarely alone.
In the joint account — debt, intimacy, inheritance.
☿ Mercury in Libra · house 7
How you think, and how you say it.
The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.
In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.
♀ Venus in Scorpio · house 9
What you like, and how you go about liking it.
What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.
♂ Mars in Virgo · house 7
How you go after what you want.

In vocation and public standing — the thing you are known for.
♄ Saturn in Pisces · house 1 ℞
The strict teacher you thank later.
The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.
In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.
♅ Uranus in Taurus · house 2 ℞
The urge to break something that still works.

In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.
Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

Across the table, wherever there is another party.
♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 6
What will not be negotiated with, only survived.
What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.
In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

⚷ Chiron in Gemini · house 4 ℞

⚸ Lilith in Scorpio · house 8
What you refused, and what refuses back.
What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.
In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.
The tightest aspects
☉ Sun ⚹ ♃ Jupiter · sextile, orb 0.75°
The drive to be someone in particular and the appetite for more room than is currently available assist each other when asked.

☽ Moon △ AC Ascendant · trine, orb 1.08°
The need for safety, and the habits that supply it and the face a life presents before it says anything run together easily.
Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.

Easily enough that it is often not noticed, and so not used.
